Being new to vaping (and completely in love with it), I've been doing as much reading as possible on side effects, both good and bad, that people have experienced since switching from tobacco to e-cigarettes. Of course there are the obvious benefits such as improved lung function from the lack of tar and higher blood oxygen levels due to the absence of carbon monoxide, but information on any potential effects on one's sexual health is quite scarce. I noticed this because it is relatively common knowledge in the health community that circulation impairment caused by smoking is a major factor in the condition of many men suffering from impotence or erectile dysfunction, which, in a roundabout way, can affect the libido. This question was asked roughly two years ago in this forum, albeit far more crudely, in this post:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/health-safety-e-smoking/22228-do-smokers-have-low-libido.html
Due to the manner in which the question was asked, the OP was mocked, and little information was presented. However, I do believe the question to be a particularly important one for someone who has been presented with such a problem. Personally, I was a smoker for about 5 and a half years, and have not experienced such difficulties. HOWEVER, I'm also a guy not more than 7 months out of his teens, and, with the exception of the past 8 days, have been smoking a pack a day for the entire span that I've been... erm... active, so I don't believe that I am the best person to be drawing information from on this matter. Of course, should I note any changes, I will gladly volunteer what information I should come up with.
So my question is: To those who have successfully made a relatively long-term transition from smoking tobacco to vaping, have you experienced increased/decreased sexual function since making the switch? I'm not necessarily talking about certain obvious factors such as being able to perform higher-intensity activities for longer periods of time without getting winded, although that certainly is a valid positive side effect. It could include better performance, higher libido/desire, anything that you, personally, consider to be an effect that vaping has had on your sexual health. I understand that for many, this could potentially be an embarrassing topic to discuss, but there will be no judgement here, merely contribution to a thus-far vastly under-noted, yet incredibly important topic regarding e-cigarettes.
